    This may be a huge faux pas for me to ask, and I certainly don't want to take this in the direction of the lewd or lascivious.

    I know DI is not some type of dating service for lonely distance learners, but I was just curious as to GENERAL, VAGUE descriptions of your age range and what you do and what you look like, to put a face with the handle, so to speak.

    Please don't include anything like measurements or how "good looking" you are or such nonsense, I don't want to be responsible for starting a thread that makes this forum as trite and crude as some other sites in cyberland.

    I'll start:

    Small-time lawyer, college instructor.

    I'm 40, blondish hair, a couple inches shorter than average. I look vaguely Swedish or Danish. No beard or such, I look young and my face belies my age, but my receding hairline gives the matter away. Just a nondescript guy.

    Well of course, I agree with you for theological reasons that I'm sure you understand.

    I hope I haven't trod into forbidden territory here. What do you think, Osborne? Am I on thin ice?

    Why? Of course not.

    I am ancient and gnome like, sort of a cross between Yoda and Dick Cheney with maybe a dash of Phyllis Dyller. Most of my day is spent figuring out how to protect major corporations from the financial claims all those homeless, crippled widows.

    I freeze flowers with my breath and my slightest opinion causes Heaven to tremble for fear that it (Heaven) may have made a mistake.

    Death himself is afraid of me.

    But my cat thinks I'm "the bomb"!

    "end" or "cul d' sac"?

    I didn't picture you gnome-like.

    And wait a minute, you're the head of the P.D.'s office, aren't you? You're defending those homeless and widows (or at least their prodigal sons).

    SWM looking for SWF....

    Oh, not that kind of description? :D

    I have a baby face and people tell me that I look about 10 years younger. I'm 45 and while at the swimming pool this week (I'm a distance lap swimmer), a woman told me that I look 32 years old. When I told her that we were both the same age, she was devestated and she commented that she looks old. No, she doesn't look old. She simply looks like a 45 year old woman. :eek:

    Once while in full cop-uniform and while walking up to an elderly woman with Alzheimers disease, she pointed her finger at me and said to her sister, "Look!!! It's a police boy!!!" :eek:

    My age is finally catching up with me, but I still look young.

    If you didn't know you're age and if it was your birthday, then hold old would you be/feel?

    I was 23 when I was in LE - I looked all of 16 - boy, I broke out an old picture of myself the other day and my 12 year old daughter didn't even recognize a once skinny and in shape dad - lol.

    I am 43, opinionated, still in pretty good shape (better shape than my brother who is a cop and weights about 260). --- and, I still have a full head of hair (albeit salt and pepper now)

    Now wait a minute Jack! The barbarians who overran the Roman Empire were GERMANIC! Besides, in the process the Franks (Germans) overran the Gauls (Celts) in France, the Visigoths (Germans) overran the Iberians (Celts) in Spain, and the Anglo-Saxons (Germans) overran the Britons (Celts) in England.

    I am an administrator at a medium-sized state university in urban Chicago. I supervise the area that administers the online course management system and provides instructional technology training and development for the university. I also teach online graduate courses in educational technology as an adjunct professor for a private university.

    I am average height and slightly above average weight (something that I am working to resolve). I am Puerto Rican, but have light skin and light brown hair, so nobody believes that I am Hispanic until I start speaking to them in Spanish.

    I always thought the Master Chief's looked that that Charles. Most Chief's I knew were still working men. The Master Chief's were merely used as decorative coffee holders.

    Dear Moderator(s):

    What is this - a Men of Degreeinfo Review?

    I hereby petition that this particular thread be immediately and forever closed until, and unless, we hear from some of the (fabulous) women of Degreeinfo!

    Me?

    Biomedical Engineer, Public Health Researcher and Urban Planner. Also, Adjunct Assistant Professor at UMUC (Adelphi, MD) and Howard University (Washington, DC).

    And (apologetically) male.

    5'10", 90.72 kilograms (I leave it to you to convert this metric/SI mass (not weight) figure into English/American pounds!), with black hair, brown eyes.

    And oh, yes, I do look like Jesus!

    (Please do not ask: "What does Jesus - of the christian Bible - look like?" I know that you know).

    Thanks.

    ;)

    I'm very sorry Mr. Engineer. I don't know why I was acting under the misapprehension that you were younger. I thought you'd recently completed the engineering degree and were in your 20s. My bad, I apologize for referring to you elsewhere as "a generation younger" than me. You're actually a couple years older! I'd better treat my elders with more respect! (BTW, not yanking your chain, really thought you were younger)
